Giving as a Business

The Community Foundation can assist your business to develop and administer a strategic giving plan that aligns with your corporate priorities and creates a measurable impact in our community. Your company can outsource your entire charitable giving program, or a particular part of it to the Foundation, for expert management and maximum impact.

 

Create a Fund

Businesses can support the work of the Foundation generally by joining our Community Partners program for as little as $1,000 per year.

Or, you can make a bigger investment by establishing a named Business Advised or Community Fund with a commitment of $10,000 or more. This allows you to create a visible and permanent vehicle for your corporate giving.

With a Business Advised Fund, you pick what charity(ies) your fund will grant to each year; or you can choose to work with our grant team to fund local community projects that have been vetted by our experienced grant review team. These funding options give you a chance to gain broad recognition through your giving.

We are committed to making it as easy as possible for local businesses to create Business Advised Funds.
